The joint leaders of Dumfries and Galloway Council are maintaining their united front and insist it is business as usual.
Labour group leader Linda Dorward and SNP group head Stephen Thompson didn’t take too kindly to opposition Conservative councillor Andrew Wood questioning the strength of the council administration partnership recently.
This comes after it was reported that MSP Anas Sarwar, leader of the Scottish Labour Party, wanted to put an end to any coalitions with SNP at council level.
At the recent full council meeting, Councillor Wood called for answers on whether or not the hardline stance from MSP Sarwar will lead to the Labour/SNP/Independent council administration falling apart.
Councillor Wood said: “With respect, if the leader (Councillor Linda Dorward) does not have authority, then do we actually have a proper administration?”
Councillor Stephen Thompson responded: “Full council has appointed the positions that are seated round this table. From that point of view, that’s where we’re at as a council.
“I don’t think that’s a very helpful comment at this time Councillor Wood.”
Councillor Dorward replied: “I’m not quite sure where Councillor Wood’s coming from, but I think it would be helpful if you want to raise that issue after the meeting, I’m quite happy to discuss it with you.”
This exchange between the opposition councillors took place just before the elected members were to be presented with a report detailing the progress of the council leadership arrangements since the administration was formed in May this year.
Three new forums have been running since then: a leaders’ panel, a budget group, and a business bureau. Regular meetings have been held between all group party leaders, including Conservatives.
